From Aztec accounts of hibernating hummingbirds to contemporary
television spectaculars, human encounters with nature have long
sparked wonder, curiosity and delight. Written by leading scholars,
this richly illustrated volume offers a lively introduction to the
history of natural history, from the sixteenth century to the
present day. Covering an extraordinary range of topics, from
curiosity cabinets and travelling menageries to modern seed banks
and radio-tracked wildlife, this volume draws together the work of
historians of science, of environment and of art, museum curators
and literary scholars. The essays are framed by an introduction
charting recent trends in the field and an epilogue outlining the
prospects for the future. Accessible to newcomers and established
specialists alike, Worlds of Natural History provides a much-needed
perspective on current discussions of biodiversity and an enticing
overview of an increasingly vital aspect of human history.
